Brienne's fate is technically unknown altho it doesn't look good for her. The Hound is dead. But I NEVER considered any of these people main characters. I can give you Robb but to me, the main characters are Ned Stark's children (except for Rickon), Tywin Lannister's children, and Daenyres. The only main characters that were actually killed in my mind is Ned and Catelyn, and she's still around[/spoiler]
[spoiler]I can see the debate with Tywin but not Robb and Brienne. 1 or 2 books was told through Brienne's eyes. Martin's main characters are the characters that tell the story and Brienne is one of them. I assume you probably don't think of the guys in the south as main characters?
By the last book maybe 1/3 of the book was about Tywin or Ned's kids. The rest was about the Tulley's, Iron Islands, Stannis, the dude's in the south and Targeryn.
The Hound is not a main character in the books but in the show he certainly is.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]I'm not convinced either one of them is dead. Particularly Brienne. They leave it open when she is hanged. In the last book, which I'm re-reading right now, I don't think any of those you mentioned are main characters. The main characters in Dance are Jon, Daeneyres, Tyrion and maybe Theon.[/spoiler]
